HRARTLESs CRUELTY

mstism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for It even all its merit would war
rant has not 4 little to do with its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as well As right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and infames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system; It invigorates the action OF the
muscles and limbers the stiffness of the
joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys.

conditions cease, it will restore these organs
TO regularity and health.

Yours of August 14th, is at hand, and
in reply would say that Athlophoros
proved the most effectual remedy for neu-

troubled any more for six months.
HENRY HARRIS

"There Were Great Men in Those Days -

An opinion was current, il the last
century, that our ancestors, at some
time in the past, were the equals super
:ors in size to the largest men now to be
found. NJ. Henrion presented to the
Academic des Inscriptions, in 171S,
memoir on the variations in the size Of
man from the beginning Of the world
till the Christian era, in which Adam
was given one hundred and twenty three
feet nine inches. But after the first
pair, the human race, in Its imagina-
ton. suffered a regular decrease, so that
Noah was only one hundred feet high,
while Abraham shrank down to twenty
eight feet, Moses to thirteen feet, the
almighty Hercules to ten feet eight and
a half inches, and Alexander the Great
to bare six feet and half. The COM
muuication, it is said, was received with
as wonderful discovery" and sub
lime vision.''
The complaint about the degencrscy
of the human race is not new, but dates
as far back as the time of Homer, at
least /; for the meu of his day were not
like the heroes of whom he sang. 1t is
not confirmed, but is contIadicted by all
the tangible facts, and these are not a
few. Human remains that are exhumed,
after having reposed in the grave for
many centuries, as in the Catacombs of
Paris, have nothing gigantic about them.
The armor. the cuirasses, and the cas-
ques of the warriors OF the middle ages,
can be worn by modern soldiers and
many Of the Knights suits would be too
small for the cuiTassIeTs of the European
armies yet they were worn by the Sc
lected men, who were better fed, strong
er and more robust than the rest of the
population. The bones of the ancient
Gauls, which are uncovered in the exca-
vations of Tumuli, while they are o.
large dimensions, are comparable with
those of the existing populations or
macy places in France.
The Egyptian mummies are the re-
mains of persons of small or medium
stature, as are also the Peruvian and
Mexican mummies, and the mummies
and bones found in the ancient monu-
ments of India and Persia. And even
the most ancient relics We possess of in
dividuals Of the human species the bones
OF men who lived in the Tertiary period,
an epoch the remote antiquity of which
goes back for hundreds of centuries, do
not show any important differences N
the sizes Of the primitive and OF the
modern man.
